Two Metropolitan Police officers could face criminal charges after being accused of not providing enough first aid to a stab victim, who later died.

They called an ambulance, but a complaint was made by a passer-by they had not done enough to save his life.IOPC director Mel Palmer said: "Once it's completed, we will decide whether to make a referral to the Crown Prosecution Service for a charging decision, and also decide whether any of the officers involved should face disciplinary proceedings."
The watchdog added that the day after the incident, a member of the public had raised concerns to the Met Police that the first two officers "did not appear to provide sufficient first aid to Mr Mahmood". The two officers are being investigated for alleged misconduct in public office, a criminal offence, along with potential breaches of professional standards, which could amount to gross misconduct.
